6 pasties.
2 cups Swift'ning Pastry Mix.
3 to 5 tablespoons water.
1 3/4 cups ground cooked meat.
1 tablespoon Swift'ning.
2 tablespoons minced onion.
3/4 cup gravy or white sauce.
Cook onion in Swift'ning until lightly browned. Combine onion, meat, and gravy. Place pastry mix in bowl. Sprinkle enough water, gradually, over pastry mix, blending with fork to form a stiff dough. Turn onto lightly floured cloth-covered board. Knead twice to blend thoroughly. Roll pastry so as to cut six 5-inch squares. Place 1/3 cup filling on one half of each square. Fold dough over filling. Seal edges. Place on baking sheet. Bake. Serve hot with sauce or gravy.
